Publisher's Review
Where there is love, there is God
Martin, a lonely shoemaker, loses his faith after the death of his son and spends his days feeling helpless.
But one day, he hears the voice of God saying, “I will come to you tomorrow,” and greets the people around him.
He only realizes this after helping a starving woman, a child shivering in the cold, and an old man arguing.
“God was by my side.
“At the moment I was giving love.”
This is a masterpiece that shines with Tolstoy's conviction that God is not a visible being, but resides in the good deeds of humans.
The Young Emperor's Dream
A young emperor, living in power and pleasure, forgetting his true duties, encounters the essence of life in a dream.
It is a symbolic allegory about the 'ethics of governance', realizing that all power is ultimately a means to service and responsibility.
Three Deaths
It tells the story of 'the humility of death' through the deaths of a noblewoman, a coachman, and a tree.
By contrasting the three deaths, it shows that true peace lies in harmony with nature, not in material things.
The devil tempts, but God endures.
A story about a human who, after being tempted by the devil and consumed by greed and anger, is ultimately saved by forgiveness and love.
It is a moral fable that embodies the theme of ‘God’s patience’ through the conflict between good and evil.
There are no sinners
Even in a structure of greed and inequality, Tolstoy says, “No one is inherently sinful.”
Each person is imperfect in his or her own circumstances, and understanding and compassion are the beginning of true salvation.
Conversation of the Rich
A work that ironically reveals the meaning of life through the conversations of the rich.
In a world where everyone talks about happiness but no one practices love,
It reminds us that 'true wealth is a heart that is toward others.'
After the ball
A masterpiece short story that starkly contrasts the passion of love with the reality of violence.
Through the cruelty of humanity hidden behind the glamour of the ball, Tolstoy denounces the “illusion of a loveless society.”
Three benefactors
The meeting between the bishop and the three teachers shows that practice is greater than theory in faith.
“Even if they forgot the Lord’s Prayer, God was already in their hearts.”
This is the work in which Tolstoy's idea of 'faith in action' is most purely revealed.
“Where there is love, there is also God” talks about the restoration of humanity that goes beyond faith.
Tolstoy emphasizes the 'practice of love' over religious doctrine, and preaches that the power to change humans is not God, but love itself.
This book is a collection of short stories that perfectly combines Tolstoy's humanism and realism, delivering a message that is still relevant to modern people who have lost their way in life.
